Chocolate Chip Cupcakes....a yummy treat for your family :)

Where were you when the world stopped turning? Together we pause to remember the victims, to grieve with the families and friends of those who died, and to honor the heroes of that day and each day since who have sacrificed to save lives and serve their country.

Usually I like to cook and bake from scratch. I decied that my readers/followers would like a simple and very GOOD recipe that is pretty quick because you use a cake mix. So....here it is! I hope you enjoy these cupcakes.

DirectionsSift together confectioners' sugar, cocoa, and salt. With an electric mixer on medium-high speed, beat cream cheese and butter until pale and fluffy. Reduce speed to low. Gradually add sugar mixture; mix until combined. Mix in sour cream; scrape down sides of bowl and continue beating until smooth.

If you like you can leave the cupcakes unfrosted....they are very good that way too. They are so moist and the little chips add the perfect chocolate flavor. Don't get me wrong...they are great with the frosting too...and much more fun for your little helpers! You know how kids love to decorate especially with sprinkles! lol

Have a wonderful weekend. We are still waiting for the rain to clear up so we can continue on with our harvest. Please remember to leave me a comment and just say hi or tell me what your plans for the weekend are. :)

Today is such a sad day so it was nice to add a bit of nostalgic sweetness to it with your recipe. I've bookmarked it to make one day next week. Sounds good. Just a rainy day here in NC so pulled out the crockpot for something warm. Come visit my page if you get a chance. Donnie

Remembering! What a horrible day! But it made all us "Americans" closer."Thank God for the land of the Free and the people who serve!" The cupcakes can I just have one to eat? They look delicious! I will try them out!thanks & God Bless Teresa

Those look good! I made some cupcakes a few weeks ago, lets just say, I will never use the frosting recipe that I used again! It was the runniest frosting...I thought it was the blog taking over my house. I found that stuff everywhere! Wouldn't even stay on a cupcake, so I had a ton left over!!

About Me

I love living on the farm. I am a farmer's daughter and farmer's wife too! I am here to share our life on the farm as I know many people do not understand how hard our farmers and ranchers work. I love all things agriculture related. I also will be sharing recipes and any other thought I have. ;) I live with my husband and our three children on our 4th generation farm/ranching operation in North Dakota. We are blessed to raise our children on the farm and to be stewards of the land. I love cooking from scratch in the old fashion farmstyle way, gardening and crafting. We raise wheat, flax, soy beans and sunflowers on our farm.
I love when you visit and especially like when you leave me a comment.
I love making new friends and most certainly will pop over to visit you!
I have a home based business in which I make soy candles and other scented products. Check out my website. You will find the link on the right hand side of my column.
Thanks for stopping by...come back soon. :)
